    Maybe due to the 6 memory slots on the Gigabyte P55A UD6 causing some confusion?

    It does. Thanks.

    The lanes are still taken up by the two x1 slots I failed to account previously. A lot of either-or on connectivity thanks to Intels nearsightedness with the mainstream platform agenda.

    The P55A-UD4 is missing the PCIe x4 though, so if they connected the Marvell controller through a PCIe bridge to jury rig a 5 Gbps link, it'd be the SATA3 board to go after.

    I don't think so. Doesn't USB 3.0 have more contacts in the connector?

    USB 3.0 uses a different set of pins, but the connector is backwards compatible:

    If you mean the frontpanel ports connecting to a mobo pinout, then no. I don't think any upcoming "USB 3.0" boards even provide this option. You can plug a USB 2.0 device into an USB 3.0 port freely though since it's backwards compatible (vice versa depends on the device).

    http://www.overclockers.ru/ and a translated version of the article have some information about pricing.
    GA-P55A-UD3R - 180$
    GA-P55MA-UD4 - 203$
    And xxxA boards should be on average 20$ more expensive than normal ones. Fair pricing imo!

    You don't have to post on every single thread in the news section you know.
    24 post in your first day. I don't see you being here too long without getting banned.

    EDIT: Oh snap!

    Ive had this board for a few weeks, good to see it's on the shelf already.

    The marvell controller refuses work as a boot drive in RAID mode, the driver has issues and windows 7 doesn't recognize it. I need to look around for newer bios and or drivers again.

    "333" is what marketing is going with... USB 3, SATA 3, and 3x the USB power.

    Plastic push pins holding down the sinks needs to be addressed too.
